Common use of Change Implementation Clause in Contracts

Change Implementation. ‌ If the COUNTY proposes to implement a change in matters within the scope of representation as defined by ORS 243.650(7) and not specifically mentioned in this Agreement that would result in more than a de minimus effect on the bargaining unit, the COUNTY will notify the ASSOCIATION in writing prior to implementing the proposed change. Upon timely request of the ASSOCIATION (within fourteen (14) days), the following shall apply: A. The COUNTY will provide the ASSOCIATION with all records about its plan that are relevant to the proposed plan as required by law. B. The COUNTY will notify the ASSOCIATION that it will implement the plan after forty-five (45) days unless the ASSOCIATION demands to bargain. C. The COUNTY will, upon demand by the ASSOCIATION, meet in good faith as often as the ASSOCIATION believes is necessary to discuss the COUNTY'S plan up until the end of the forty-five (45) day period, subject to the normal business needs of the COUNTY. D. If the COUNTY and the ASSOCIATION do not reach an agreement on the issue at hand, the ASSOCIATION may take the matter to final offer arbitration not less than ten (10) days no more than thirty (30) days after the first negotiations meeting. Should the ASSOCIATION fail to do so, the COUNTY may, at its sole discretion, implement all or part of any plan that was presented to the ASSOCIATION. E. Should the matter be submitted to arbitration pursuant to this provision, the authority of the arbitration shall be limited to the sole questions as to which party's offer is most appropriate to the issue at hand. The most appropriate offer as determined by the arbitration shall be implemented.
